US Invents Reports of Russia Attacking Ukraine Bases

Apparently still laying the groundwork for their own planned military intervention, the US government has invented a narrative of massive Russian artillery strikes against Ukrainian military bases along the border.

During the past several days, there has not been a single report out of Ukraine of an artillery strike against any of their military bases, anywhere in the country. The last such incident was two weeks ago, when rebels fired a BM-21 grad at a military base.

And this is Ukraine we’re talking about, which comes up with its own dubious stories of Russian attacks on a near daily basis. If Russia was carried out concerted shelling against Ukrainian military targets, Ukraine would be harping on about it constantly. They aren’t even alleging anything close to that is happening.

The latest invented story appears to have been produced primarily as a replacement for Harf’s increasingly debunked allegations surrounding the MH17 shoot-down, a talking point which has gained her no small mocking in the press over the past week, as she directly contradicts the US intelligence community’s own releases on the matter.

Harf’s latest allegations included the phantom artillery fire and secret evidence of Russia planning to maybe send a bunch more weapons to the rebels. One member of the assembled press, humorously, asked if there was “a YouTube video or something that you can point us to,” calling back to Harf’s regular use of social media as “proof” for her claims.

Harf declared “I just said I wasn’t going to give you the underlying source,” and asked if the press preferred she keep things to herself that she can’t prove. This led to another exchange, with someone shooting back “Marie, I think that it would be best for all concerned here if when you make an allegation like that, you’re able to back it up with something more than just “because I said so.” “

Marie Harf has become America's own Baghdad Bob/Comical Ali. Apparently her job is to make ridiculous assertions which the U.S. Government would like to be true with absolutely no evidence to back them up.

she can't help herself…since lying is as natural as breathing …she fits right in with Psaki, Rice, Power…what a team….AND she was "trained" in these skills by CIA….she's just what Obomer's team needed.

Its amazing how secret the secret "evidence" the US possesses actually is.
In fact it is so secret that it cannot be revealed to anyone EVEN TO PROVE THAT IT EXISTS.
Now that what I call a secret.
Are we all that stupid to believe ANYTHING that comes out of the US State Department?

Hopefully, that's just a rhetorical question…because there are many out there that will scarf up these statements from State because the fit a certain narrative – which, of course, is the purpose for these kind of "trust me validity-lite" statements.

The US state department have a back door to its secrecy/secret files room' which depending on the issue they pick the right file and say look: here is our proof, but because is secret we can not show you our secret files.

Barack hussein Obama is doing and inventing everything imaginable to start a war with Russia or to militarize Ukraine by NATO occupation forces lined along the border of every eastern country in Europe, to defuse their intention, the USG every now and then sending their squad of non educated and uninformed people from state department to come up with a joke or two, this is one of them.

Reminds me of those military briefings in Saigon that everyone called "The Five O'Clock Follies." No one in their right mind believed one damn thing that the brass tried to shovel out of their own asses.

Too bad such a smart, pretty woman saw fit to sell her soul to to the Obama administration. Whatever credibility she had prior to this appointment has been completely shredded. At this rate, though, the current administration will outlive her employment- she seriously needs to get her act together and actually have something when holding press conferences.

You can't have a whole lot of credibility without extensive experience, which she lacks in spades. But she's a good little campaign worker…and you know she's already passed her resume to Frau Clinton, just in case.

Good stuff. Poor Marie. She sure is having to "earn" her salary, so to speak. Not that anyone should get a government job with a bloated salary and fantastic benefits only to lie to the American people.

Also, if Russia was attacking Ukraine bases, the Ukrainians would be running for their lives or defecting.

Itś a failed project by the NWO. But its Ms Harfwitś job to quell the masses. All the while Obumber has a game of golf. BTW white rabbits and bowler hats are selling for a fortune. Have a nice nuclear war.

She works for the government so she's an actor. She speaks words someone wrote for her in front of an audience, which is what actors do. She doesn't deserve our rage.

Once we recognize what these people in Washington REALLY are, the next realization is obvious. We as a country have been conditioned to believe that if we change the actors every 4 years, we can change the script. We changed the actor George Bush for this new actor whatever his stage name is, you know, the guy living in the White House at the moment, and the script stayed the same, didn't it? Of course it did, because the story doesn't change when the actors change, do they?

We need to recognize that Joe Biden isn't the vice-president, he's the understudy. Presidential advisers are really script writers. We shouldn't get angry at whatever the guy's name is who lives in the White House, we should applaud how well he acts. We don't get angry at John Travolta when he plays a crazed psycho, do we?

If you want to vent some fury, focus on the script writers who are actually responsible for the crappy story being played out for us. Let's recognize what our elections really are. They can't change anything because actors aren't script writers and we should stop pretending they are.

Saw an American news report this morning, filmed in and around the MH17 crash site. The report was about investigators and Red Cross not being able to access the MH17 crash site. Are we sure that government and media haven’t been taken over by alien lizard shapeshifters who haven’t quite mastered propaganda yet, or are these people just as pathetic as they seem?

Of course, it’s just like Iraq WMD: government spews total BS without proof, docile mainstream media owned by the same interests as the government repeats these blatant lies, and it all is very profitable for some people (I am using this term loosely).
I always thought that US president can not be worse than Bush, but Obama’s campaign slogan “Yes, we can!” turned out to be truer than is good for us.
Just like with Iraq, the US will kill lots of people, some sharks will get billions of our tax dollars, and two years later they will say: “Sorry, massive intelligence failure, can happen to anyone”.
Disgusting is the word.

Ukraine is a huge white elephant. the US and EU will go broke trying to support it. their only chance is to figure out how they can give it back to the Russians while saving face. perhaps we will start a war give it back:) definitely a bridge too far for NATO.

The chances are that the strikes are being carried out not by the rickety Russian military but by contractors. The brother-in-law of my friend from Kharkov is a former soldier and from his ex-colleagues in the military, he has it that the people they were dealing with in Crimea were Russian but not members of the Russian armed forces. Clearly, Putin has become a liability to his neocon handlers and they would no doubt like to destroy him. And since he has violated Articles III and IV of the Helsinki Final Act by annexing Crimea, any party to that treaty would be entitled in international law to take military action against him.
